Re: Wedding drama
yes, it is driving me INSANE. My family is the one that is the more traditional one and things that I thought wouldn’t be an issue because we’re fairly “progessive” (all of us daughters are in med/law/professional school and we have full freedom), are turning out to be problems. My family–father in particular–can’t wrap his mind across the fact that this isn’t “just another rishta” but it’s someone that I’ve known for a while now and feel very strongly about. I’m just hoping we can even get to the shaadi planning phase…aH, the bf is being super supportive and basically willing to do/answer any question my father has but it’s frustrating.
I see so many people get married and it really makes me wonder if desi people can just let go of their egos and be happy that their kids found someone on their own or if it’s just my family that’s creating this fuss. It just seems that they can’t accept the fact that it isn’t arranged and my guy and me have basically already decided that we’re going for it, obviously with the elders’ blessings though.
